I can't get into the newer bands, since most of them are screamo nowadays. Not my thing. Plus, many of them are uninspired, copying off of other bands.

 

Don't say that. It makes me lose respect for people when they say that word. Not offending you, it's just easier to make words like that the last in your vocabulary.

 

These newer gen VK artists, at this point in the scene, have the inspiration and influences by previous bands. What they do with all that, is up to them. You will hear the similarities perhaps in the way they play, but it's not an exact duplicate. Make sure you listen to them very carefully for those little spins they add to the sound, as a lot of us are quick to dismiss them.

 

As for the majority that are "uninspired", keep in mind that VK scene is shitting out more bands than ever. It's up to us (even if we make up a small fraction) to make sure that those who aspire to be great, are noticed. Only flock to the bands that are in it to improve their skills and themselves, and not their image.

 

It's a shame what happened to Shounenki, and I'm still pretty suprised that actually happened, as they were honestly good by today's VK standards.

how do u guys play so many games

 

Well I have a full time job (with overtime currently), but I carpool, so I either pass out (most of the time), or play on my 3DS. I have class for most of the afternoon/evening and play there too in between breaks, When I get home at night I hop on my PS4 for an hour or so before bed.

 

I'd hop on a PC gaming binge, but I haven't been a PC gamer since '98 with Sonic the hedgehog lol. Plus I use an Apple Laptop and I just can't risk burning through my Mac too quick.

 

I've been a gamer since forever. It's not a habit you can just give up. If anything, I work my life AROUND my games.

 

I don't have time for an RPG or MMO anymore, but once FFXV comes out, I'm gonna try and make it work again. I must.

I really enjoyed From Death to Destiny as well. Going to cleaner vocals for the album was a nice change of pace, as well as for the vocalists health. I heard about his vocal chord injury.

 

I'm still questioning the new singers capability. Sad that Danny left (not sure why yet), but he provided that raw energy that helped complete the band. This new guy, I'm not really feeling it yet.

Dem Throwbacks doe. Death's Door will never get old to me. The U2 track threw me off lol but it IS shuffle.

 

1. the GazettE - Cassis

2. Ace -Rider of the Sky

3. D-Mind -B.O.R.

4. Kanon Wakeshima - Marmalade Sky

5. Nas -Bye Baby

6. Sum 41 - We're All to Blame

7. August Burns Red - Existence

8. Namie Amuro - White Light

9. Sadie - Swallow Rain

10. Lil Jon - Da Blow

 

I chose Lil Jon cause, Yeah. What? I'm from Chicago haha.

 

My Japanese pick is Namie Amuro - White light because this song has been with me since its release back in 05 and I never skip it. Always include it into Xmas playlists.

I'm savage, but not THAT savage bro. haha.

 

I'd rather sleep lol.

So I ran into my High school crush who gave me her #, my ex-gf wants me back, and some horny college girl asked if I could help her with her "Homework" yesterday.

 

I just wanted to go to fucking sleep.

The fuck is going on in here?

Ruki from the GazettE

Daisuke from Kagerou

Wataru from 12012

 

All because Nostalgia played a big role

 

God I love Japanese Lyrics.

Malice Mizer - エーゲ～過ぎ去りし風とともに～ (Aegen~sugisarishi kaze to tomo ni)

 

 

Easily one of my favorite songs. Ever. Reason I fell in love with them. Gackt hype and all that yeah yeah. lol.

I keep coming back to this.

 

 

This is hands down the Crispiest/Cleanest IPA that I have ever had in my life so far. The aftertaste is so damn pine tasting that it's good. I have to special order this at my local liquor store.

It finally snowed. My Subaru is very throttle happy this morning.

He'll have a pet to man a talk with me if i ignore his pleas to go outside and take a shit. Puts his fucking paw on my hand, to make me stop what I'm doing on the couch, and then just looks at me all serious. haha.

Yeah. I guess because I've seen candy shops like that in other countries that I've been to when I was a grubby little kid, I can relate to them liking Dagashi Snacks so much lol.

 

x2 on the dragging on part. Sometimes I enjoy watching it, other times I just play it in the background when I do homework.

These little preteens sitting behind me at Starbucks are starting to get annoying.

Oh there's a thread for this?!?!? Nice.

didn't Yune surface back in vk scene some time ago?

they shouldn't miss out on this chance to recruit him before moving onto covering major era gazette discog

 

and leave More? Doubt it. As far as I'm concerned, they can keep him.

 

edit: Oh, I see you didn't know about More. Yeah he's in that band.

Inb4peoplesaytheirlivesareover/slitwrists

 

Sirius doe, that's a shame. Musical differences? It's hard to believe

Dagashi Kashi is boring as shit to everyone I've shown it to.

 

So why is it so interesting to me? haha

Jesus Christ I really need to catch up on my homework.

 

Probably gonna sneak some in during work lol.

Tries to roll eyes as hard as he can

Sounds like they got hit hard with a reality check. Even the bassist is retiring lol.

 

Sirius doe, that sucks for them. They did provide a fresher sound.

 

You guys should all totally buy the album when it releases so they stay afloat.

lol my brother told me to tell you guys that everyone in LOST ASH knows english, but Daiki is the most fluent.

 

Edit: He also said to look up JPOP artist May J. You'll be very impressed.

 

For those who are too lazy, she speaks English, Spanish, Japanese, and Persian. Hubba Hubba.

 

Edit 2 (He wont stfu now): Nano the singer speaks english too (born in New York, NY doe).

                                                   VERBAL (from M-flo) speaks English, Japanese, and Korean

                                                   BoA speaks English, Japanese, and Korean

                                                   The TERIYAKI BOYS main rapper raps in english too

                                                   Lead singer for the Brilliant Green speaks English pretty well

                                                   Ai (Japanse hip-hop artist)the singer can speak english

                                                   Angela Aki Speaks Japanese and English (Born in Japan, Lived in Hawaii for a while)

 

Look at what you've done!! lol

any Japanese artist rock,folk,pop,hip hop ,etc

Oh awesome! I know a couple.

 

Maaya Sakamoto (English, Japanese)

Yoshiki (English, Japanese, German?)

 

Not 100% sure on the facts but Utada Hikaru is fluent in English and has English releases for America and Europe (surely if 'Merica, yes?) in her discography.

 

That's because she was born in New York, NY. She's Japanese-American so I guess that counts lol.

Is this strictly Rock Artists? Or can this include Japanese artists in general?

Seriously?
